    Pshaw, its my wallet I'm saving. Parking downtown is ridiculous. New digs not so bad. Went from 10th floor to 3rd. Kinda kewl to have a birdseye view of the street. Of course today, with a nutjob shooting at the Federal Bldg, a higher floor mighta been safer! :eekeyes:

    Ramen noodles would be good.


    Do you remember taking a sack lunch to school?

    I remember taking sandwiches with mayonnaise on them. They'd sit for three or four hours at room temperature. I never died from botulism.

    Here's an example of the Mississippi accent. I had to ask the guy three times before I got his name right. It was CREEuss. I would have just said Chris.

    I have a new neighbor. I'm God-awful about remembering peoples' names. I lucked out with this guy. He's a rescue diver with the Coast Guard. His name is fitting.

    I'm late to the party, I'm sure, but volunteering at the pet shelter, the Senior Center or anything like that is a wonderful way to get out of the house, and do some good. :)

    *sigh* Do you know what that 'gold' pictured above is??? Once a year, I get to taste that gift from the gods....

    They don't have it any place but where it was born, the land of the eternal car horn, flying salute, where Ode de Elizabeth is not a nice thing, and when NYC becomes too much, you head west.....

    If your only exposure has been Newark, a tetanus shot is recommended... :)

    Commute was a lil easier today. Downloaded the app so I can buy ticket on my phone. Just have to be sure to keep it charged in case Im asked to show it!

    New bldg is weird and my new cube is like sitting at a sidewalk cafe with a stream of pedestrians passing by. We now have short walls, so where folks wouldnt wanna disturb you in 5 ft walls, theyre downright chatty in 3 ft walls. Bet I said G'mornin 50 times today. Now qualified to be a Walmart greeter!

    Yes, thx... dont mind if I do.

    Elizabeth is one of the last scenic places on the way to NYC from points South.
    I can't imagine anyone stopping for a visit.

    I ripped some 2by4 down to 2by2 rails for the frame and put it together with 3/8 dowels and glue. No metal used at all. The top and shelves are one by six t&g with the t and g cut off. Run em through the table saw and glued the sides together. They are attached with dowels so I don't think it will move much. The top and shelves took a lot of sanding. They were covered with several layers of paint.

    I'm now thinking about the local food bank.

    Thank you for the idea. You gave it to me.

    I can understand you not wanting to travel. If you traveled for a job staying put for a while is a gift. If you go to South America dont drink from a mini bar or from a bottle of liquor that was already opened.

    Ive never been to Italy. Ive wanted to go there since I was a little kid. I will someday. I would like to see where my grandparents came from. What made Florence your favorite place?
